Simplified Character Backgrounds

For my portfolio, I want condensed versions of each characters' bio to help summarise their personality, background and motivational details. The reason I wanted to keep it concise was to allow the text to fit into my final displays.

Central Alliance- Team Northstar


John Polaris 


Age: 25

Role: Leader/ melee/ranged/defense
Relations: Mother Jane Polaris(Missing), Father Daniel Polaris (Deceased), Childhood Friend Cassandra O'pier (alive)

John has a range of experiences in combat situations. He has not forgiven Cassandra for her 
betrayal during the Anglodian Crusade. Such an act has made him skeptical. While hating the Republic for losing his mother and the Empire for losing his home, he knows that the two factions need to be stopped. John can be quiet and a lonewolf but this can allow him to become quite efficient and focused. Fortunately when he joins the mercenary team, he slowly begins to grow more confident and less paranoid.

Dave Gresly


Age: 24

Role: Agile swordsman
Relations: Lover Tiffany

John's laid back but loyal friend and has a cocky attitude when it comes to fighting. While one would say he can be more concerned about football than other matters, personally he would still want to see his homeland back in Anglodian hands.

Isaac Landtitan


Age: 26 

Role: Heavy
Relations : Lover Laura Bovine

Isaac is the sole heir to the Landtitan fortune. He is calm but conscientious to towards others. Despite his large physique, he is a friendly figure who fights for the greater good and for the security of his homeland.


Zaff


Age: 25
Role: Psychic

Relations: Guardian GMN1 (Active), Mother Zandra (Deceased), Father Nepres (Deceased)

As a genetically engineered being, Zaff specializes in using biotic technology to manipulate objects around him with power of the mind. He can also generate a shield around himself and others. He is a man for detail and he enjoys using his abilities for both sophisticated and mischievous purposes. Zaff is good friends with Isaac. With the power of telekinesis, he can enable himself to be levitated off the ground.The power suit he wears also houses an AI that his parents created.


Laura Bovine


Age: 26

Relations: Issac Headclover
Role: Support

Laura, despite being the only female member of the team, is a kind, strong and intelligent expert in the field of engineering. She eventually pilots the power suit used for repairs and smashing enemy suits. While being a "by the book" type of person and determined individual, she has warmed up to the team and they have welcomed her into their ranks. At first she was disgusted by John's distrust with new members thinking that they would turn on him as Cassandra had. However once Laura learned what happened to him, she started to understand more and the two got on better since. She pilots the G.A.I.A power suit which despite being a support role can still provide offensive capabilities in the form of melee combat.

Empire


The Empress


Age: Unknown

Relations: Unknown

No one knows who or where the empress came from. All imperials know that she is the one who saved them from a terrible fate. She helped migrate a race of people to a world where they could recreate an Empire that would be greater than the previous one. She is a distant but powerful figure who can manipulate objects with a swing of her hand. Such power has caused many to perceive her as a god. As a means of security, she dwells within her citadel where only the elite can enter. She does not show her self to the public but if she does, it would the equivalent of witnessing a solar eclipse.

Violet de Vidtierras


Age: 45

Relations: Charles De Vidtierras (Deceased), Elaine de Vidtierras (Deceased)
Role: ArchDuchess of the Empire, the main purpose of the Anglodia Incident

Violet's patriotic and aristocratically upbringing has made her into her strong figure that many imperials look up to. While showing little to now emotion during social encounters she is ruthless and intimidating when she arrives on the battlefield. However she was never always like this during her youth. She used to be an aggressive but energetic girl who wanted to see the world united but also followed her culture's imperial beliefs. It was only after an incident where she no longer showed her anger again. Despite that she shows great affection towards her only daughter Tiffany but she has  been over protective of her, believing that she would become just as violent and aggressive as she once was. Even then she can be obsessive.



Oliver Roundkampf


Age: 46
Role: General of the Imperial Military and Representative of the Empress.
Relations: Wife Violet De Vidterras (Alive) , Daughter  Tiffany De Vidtierras (Alive)

Oliver may be a tough and charismatic leader,who has risen from the lowest ranks to the highest. A knight who was honourable yet merciless in combat and very loyal to his mistress,Violet De Vidtierras. He respects the lower classes and distrusts other nobles.


Tiffany De VidTierras

Age: 17

Role: Daughter of Duchess, positive representative of the Empire.
Relations: Mother Violet de Vidtierras (alive) ,Father unknown (Alive)

Unlike her mother,Tiffany is naive but intelligent. For most of  her life he has been sheltered by her mother from the harshness of reality. Although she attends school ,it's at the most prestigious school within her local province. Tiffany shows concern for the lower classes of her homeland and even sympathy to those being oppressed by the Empire.

Tundran Republic


Cassandra O'pier


Age: 25

Relations: Father(Deceased) Callum  O'pier, Mother Keisha O'pier (Deceased)
Role: Commissar, Rival to John

Ever since she joined the Tundra Republic Ranks, Cassandra has been a figure known in infamy. She was close friends with John before the Anglodia Crusade where she took her chance and seized an opportunity to help the Tundran effort and join the ranks. After her parents were gassed to death by imperial forces, she vowed to see the imperials wiped off the face of the earth. While her affiliation is with the Tundran Republic she sees the Tundran forces as a means to an end.

Ursula Dimitriv


Age:41

Role: Commissar, Mother figure to Cassandra
Relations: Father Mikhail 
Husband Medved "bearskin" Dimitriv
Son Mishka Dmitriv

Ursula is a charismatic figure who is more concerned for her troops and prefers to  avoid full scale conflict. The reason for this was when she was a young soldier fighting in  the Tundran army, she ended up causing friendly fire which lead to the death of her comrades and also innocent civilians.


Samuel 
Prorok

Age:
48

Role: High Commissar of the Tundran Navy 
Relations: Fiance Miranda Sneggora (Deceased)

Despite being a loyal and respected commander ,Samuel is a quiet man who shows strong confidence in his actions. He has a natural ability to lead. He lost his sight and arms during an incident which involved an experimental Imperial weapon. Since then, Sam has shown strong commitment in the Tundran ranks but at the exchange of a cold mind. However he seems to be growing more and more distant with age. It could be considered that this is a result of parts of him, being replaced with machine parts.

Note: Prorok is Russian for Prophet
Note: I changed parentage to relations as this would suggest parents,partners and family members.
